Chapter 87: 086: Xie Shang Realizes He Has Feelings (First Update) Chapter 87: 086: Xie Shang Realizes He Has Feelings (First Update) Granny Zhu bought ten pounds of bayberries from Grandma Lin to make Bayberry Wine.

After washing the bayberries, she put them in a sealed glass container, covered them with white liquor, added sugar, and in a few months, it would be ready to drink.

Wen Changling watched from the side.

The head nurse’s call came in.

“Changling.”

There was silence for a moment before the head nurse said with a heavy tone, “Yan Cong has,” he paused, “been transferred to our hospice ward.”

The hospice ward had another name, the terminal ward. Those transferred to the hospice ward were people whose names Yama, the King of Hell, had already written down.

“I know.”

Wen Changling hung up the phone and continued to watch Granny Zhu make wine while squatting with the family’s tabby cat.

Granny Zhu had prepared three glass jars. Looking at the leftover liquor, she said, “There’s a bit too much liquor left, Changling, help me get some more bayberries.”

Wen Changling remained squatting without moving.

“Granny, can I drink the leftover liquor?”

Granny Zhu replied, “This is white liquor, very strong.”

Old Man Zhang from the street loved this kind of throat-burning white liquor, almost always drunk after ten drinks.

“No problem, I can hold my liquor very well.”

Granny Zhu didn’t know why Wen Changling suddenly felt like drinking but didn’t dampen her spirits, giving her the liquor along with the jar, “Take it to drink, I’ll get you some peanuts for snacking.”

Granny Zhu went to prepare some snacks for Wen Changling.

Wen Changling took a bowl, sat on the bamboo bed, and poured herself half a bowl.

The Hooked Cymbidiums in the courtyard had already twined around the sweet osmanthus tree. The alkaloids in Hooked Cymbidium are neurotoxic; poisoning first presents as pain in the mouth and throat, vomiting, abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal symptoms, followed by dizziness, difficulty swallowing, dilating pupils and symptoms similar to atropine poisoning. Eventually, death occurs due to respiratory paralysis.
